Scared and confused

[Fallennnm]

So me and my husband have been having problems in our marriAge due to my family issues as well as our problems as well. He sees how screwed up my family is and sees how disgracing my sister was to her family and says I'm just like her because she is my sister and always tells me when he is mad that I'm a hoar like her and that he is gonna divorce me. My real problem is the fact he texts with a lot of girls on messenger and Facebook and caught him a few times having phone sex. In our culture when a girl disgraces her family she is put upon and no one respects that family no more. So every time I catch him doing something bad he turns the argument back to what my sister did and says I'm just showing u what your sister does. I told him its over I want a divorce he said ok but I'm taking our kids and the one still to come and u will never see them again. In our culture they can do that sometimes especially if they find a reason why they should stay with the family. What should I do? Should I stay with him and be depressed all my life and I'm only 29 or leave and pray for the best. I just think ill die if I can't see my kids

What is your culture? I'm from Australia, and i've never heard of the dad taking the kids away from the mother for no reason. Sounds like he is just trying to scare you, to make you feel worthless so you put up with him and his awful ways. What your sister does should have no bearing on what you do or how you should be treated in your marriage. Thats just a lame excuse for him to act like a pig.
